Freakin lawyers and people like the dinghy thief are what have turned the whole planet into a S*** H***. The dinghy thief should run for office, it sounds like he would make a great politician as well....

...If you are really really lucky, nobody will email your landlord a link to this thread, and you can avoid eviction and a defamation suit.

From what I've seen in this thread, and some of tager's other posts, I doubt he has enough good karma to keep his landlord from hearing about all of this.

Tager, if I were you (and I'm glad I'm not), I would: 1) start looking for a slip elsewhere ASAP; and 2) do a goodly about of introspection on how you conduct yourself, particularly vis-ŗ-vis your interactions with others.

It sounds like you've made the best of a bad situation. I agree with the others that you could have short-circuited this issue by storing your dinghy differently to begin with, but I think it was a pretty gray area and I'm not sure I would have been any wiser myself :P

I cringed when I heard you had written a letter of apology, but then I remembered that your choices are basically try to patch things up with your landlord or go and find new moorage. You can win a legal battle against him, but then the animosity will never end.
